Five years later, in midsummer, Ningling City No. [-] Prison, the sun was shining brightly, and the courtyard inside the prison was bustling with people.

"Zhou, isn't it time for you to go out?" Lao Zheng squatted by the wall and asked Zhou Ruiyang who was squatting by the wall in the same posture.

"There are still two weeks." Zhou Ruiyang pulled the small stones on the ground, and all of a sudden he used all his strength, and the small stones rolled away for a long time. Zhou Ruiyang stretched his waist and continued: "I can be regarded as Out. How about you, how long do you have?"

Old Zheng leaned back, leaned his head against the gray wall and said, "There is still a whole year left."

"Hurry up, this year will pass quickly, with a bang, it's like riding a rocket." Zhou Ruiyang said as he sat on the ground along the wall.

"Well, it's coming soon." Lao Zheng nodded and continued to ask: "Zhou, what do you want to do after you go out?"

Zhou Ruiyang raised his head and squinted at the sun that was divided into pieces by the iron fence, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know, let's take a step and see. Lao Zheng, to be honest, I'm a little scared to go out."

"Are you still afraid when you go out? Can you be a little ambitious?" Lao Zheng pushed Zhou Ruiyang's head, "You are still young, go out and make a splash, you can always achieve something, and you will do well in the future."

"Yeah." Zhou Ruiyang answered with his head drooping, and then asked Lao Zheng, "Don't just talk about me, Lao Zheng, have you ever thought about what you will do after you go out?"

"Me." Lao Zheng smiled, showing his crooked teeth, "I have to earn some money and use it to find my wife and daughter. I think I'm sorry for them."

"Do you know where the two of them went?" Zhou Ruiyang asked. From the day he met Lao Zheng, he knew that Lao Zheng had a wife who was a few years younger than him and a little daughter. The girl is gone.

"I don't know, let's look for it, that's my relative, I can always find it." Old Zheng rubbed his hair.

Zhou Ruiyang leaned against the wall, feeling a little uncomfortable. Today is the time for making phone calls once a week in the prison. At this time, Zhou Ruiyang and Lao Zheng would huddle in the corner, looking at the inmates waiting in line beside the orange telephone , carefully observed their expressions.

Lao Zheng has no one to call. His parents have long since passed away, and his wife and daughter are also missing.

But earlier, Zhou Ruiyang touched the orange phone. He wanted to call Shen Letong, because he was afraid that Shen Letong would be worried about him, but after pressing the number, Zhou Ruiyang looked down and saw the prison uniform on his body. Before the call got through, he hung up the phone with a "snap".

Later, Zhou Ruiyang squatted with Lao Zheng, listening to Lao Zheng humming some old songs from the last century.

"Old Zheng, you used to be a rock singer, right?" Zhou Ruiyang always asked.

Every time Lao Zheng just smiled and hummed the song in his mouth even louder.

Now Lao Zheng is also humming a song. Zhou Ruiyang listened to it for a long time, then turned his head and asked, "Why did you change the song? I haven't heard you hum this song before."

"This song is for you." Old Zheng scratched his eyebrows and said, "This is a farewell song. I usually hum a farewell song when I have nothing to do."

"It sounds good, it sounds good." Zhou Ruiyang nodded exaggeratedly, "I'll keep it."

"Hey Zhou."

"Ok?"

Old Zheng turned to face Zhou Ruiyang, "When I go out, you can pick me up. If I see you, I will be very happy."

Zhou Ruiyang smiled, "Come on, I'll pick you up with a big bouquet in my left hand and a big fat roast duck in my right hand. Tell me what flowers you like, and I'll buy them for you."

"Just the dog's tail grass will do." Old Zheng said, "That thing is still easy to work, and you can use it to make a villain when you have nothing to do. My daughter liked the villain I made for her when she was young."

"Success, then I'll hold a bunch of dogtail grass and wait for you outside." Zhou Ruiyang patted Lao Zheng's knee, "The green one is really suitable for you."

"Get out." Lao Zheng raised his leg and kicked Zhou Ruiyang, "It's agreed, you can't rely on it, no matter where you are, you have to come back to pick me up."

"Got it, I keep my word." Zhou Ruiyang patted his pants.

Old Zheng smiled reassuringly, and continued humming his song. Someone picked him up after he went out, but when Zhou Ruiyang went out, it was empty.

At noon two weeks later, the gate of the second prison opened with a bang, and then closed with a bang.The small open space in front of the prison gate was so clean that there was not even a single weed, and the off-white stone floor was baked by the sun as if emitting bursts of heat.

Zhou Ruiyang tugged at the clothes on his body, and fanned a little cool air out. The clothes were given to him by the warden before he left. They were very new and comfortable. The dark red short sleeves made Zhou Ruiyang look a bit white, and the skinny jeans set off his He was big and tall, but the clothes were a little hot in the sun. Zhou Ruiyang touched the clothes, and could vaguely feel the warden's big hand on his shoulders.

Zhou Ruiyang looked back at the place where he had been staying for several years. The prison door was locked tightly, and the lock was shining with a dazzling metal light. A wild cat with black and white flowers passed by the prison door, stepping on elegant catwalks, meowing. Called twice.

Zhou Ruiyang likes cats very much. There are often a few stray cats wandering outside the back door of the bakery where he used to work. Zhou Ruiyang often holds a handful of bread crumbs or meat floss crumbs to feed those little things, watching them bury their heads and finish eating. He took one look at himself and walked away, and the next day, he would meow meow meow shamelessly at the back door.

But today Zhou Ruiyang had no bread crumbs or meat floss in his hands. His pocket was as clean as the ground here except for his documents. Zhou Ruiyang stood there for a long time until the sweat dripped from his forehead and blinded his eyes. Only then squeezed the ID in his pocket and moved away.

Zhou Ruiyang's first thought was to go back to that bakery. The owner of the bakery was a bit poisonous and scolded Zhou Ruiyang a lot, but this person's heart was not bad, and Zhou Ruiyang even learned a lot of baking skills from him.

But in the past few years, Ningling City has changed too much. The bakery that opened next to the residential area has been replaced by a well-decorated coffee shop. The residential area that used to have a strong smell of fireworks has also become a commercial street with many tall buildings. , Zhou Ruiyang couldn't understand the advertisement on the big fluorescent screen.

Standing in front of that coffee shop, Zhou Ruiyang looked at his own shadow reflected on the glass wall of the coffee shop. This shadow was very strange, with thin shoulders a little bit slumped, a face with clear outlines, and his description was a little tired.

"Come in and sit down. New drinks are on the market, with a discount of up to [-]% off." The waiter in the coffee shop opened the door enthusiastically and said to Zhou Ruiyang. A gust of cool air from the air conditioner blew as the door of the coffee shop opened. Xiang Zhou Ruiyang, blowing Zhou Ruiyang back to his senses, he forced a smile at the round-cheeked waiter, shook his head and said, "No, thank you."

Later, Zhou Ruiyang wanted to visit his uncle's house. He knew that his uncle had not lived there for a long time and had moved back to his hometown, but Zhou Ruiyang still wanted to go there. Maybe his uncle felt that his hometown was not good and moved again. When he came back, at least he could still have a place to live there.

But when Zhou Ruiyang watched the family of three come out of his uncle's original hut, Zhou Ruiyang felt cold in his heart.The family of three looked very happy. The little boy held his mother's hand, and when he passed by Zhou Ruiyang, he stretched out the fingers of the other hand and gently poked Zhou Ruiyang's trousers.

"An'an, don't make trouble." The little boy's mother stretched out her hand and grabbed the little boy's fidgeting hand, looked up at Zhou Ruiyang and said, "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Zhou Ruiyang smiled, he felt that the little boy's fingers were soft and cute just now, so cute that Zhou Ruiyang wanted to rush up and squeeze them.

Until the evening, Zhou Ruiyang was still walking aimlessly along the road. The setting sun jumped over the white clouds and reflected on the thick glass curtain wall. He pursed his head and looked up.

Zhou Ruiyang didn't smoke very much, but only occasionally smoked with Lao Zheng, who was very good at blowing smoke rings, Zhou Ruiyang usually watched Lao Zheng blowing smoke rings with a cigarette in his mouth with interest.

Zhou Ruiyang raised his head so that his neck was a little sore, he lowered his head and took a deep puff of a cigarette, just in time to catch a glimpse of a baby running towards him from his bed, holding a banknote in his hand.

"Hey little baby." Zhou Ruiyang snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, and stopped Xiaowa who was about to run past him.

Xiaowa frowned and turned around, looking at Zhou Ruiyang curiously.

Zhou Ruiyang grabbed his pants and squatted down, hooked his fingers towards the little guy, and said, "Brother, can I do a magic trick for you?"

"Magic?" The little doll turned around to face Zhou Ruiyang, and walked towards him with his hands behind his back, "What magic?"

Zhou Ruiyang spread his hands, "Whatever you have in your hand, put it in my brother's hand, and my brother can make it disappear."

After listening to Zhou Ruiyang's words, the little baby looked at her own hands, and without thinking too much, put the one yuan banknote in Zhou Ruiyang's hand.

"Okay, then close your eyes first." Zhou Ruiyang said.

The little baby is really obedient, let him close his eyes as soon as he is told.

After Zhou Ruiyang rolled up the one-yuan note in his hand and put it in his trouser pocket, he spread his empty palm and said, "Okay, open it."

The little baby opened his eyes and saw that the banknotes were gone, and looked at Zhou Ruiyang with admiration, "Brother, you are really amazing."

Zhou Ruiyang smiled wryly, "That's right, but you have to remember that in the future, when strangers call you, don't answer."

"Oh." The little baby responded with a half understanding.

"Where does your family live?" Zhou Ruiyang then asked.

"Just this building, 402." The little baby pointed to a building behind him and said.

"Success, I'll remember, I'll give you a Christmas present later." Zhou Ruiyang stood up.

"Really." The little baby's eyes lit up.

"Really, I must go, go home quickly, your parents should be in a hurry." Zhou Ruiyang urged the little baby, watching him run away again pattering away.

"Zhou Ruiyang, you are fucking nothing." Zhou Ruiyang lowered his head and scolded himself, took out the one dollar note in his pocket, and approached a small supermarket by the side of the road, looking for the only person he could possibly contact.

"Boss, make a call."
